    This book is so damn good. You can learn a lot about the world, things that were never available, through what people type intonhe search bar and internet behavior in general 
    I just started reading this. I'm like 2 chapters in and it's fascinating. I've been getting into and studying data science the last 1.5-2 years, so it's cool to see real world examples like this. And kind of scary too lol

    Next to Warren Zanes' Petty, this is the best book I've read this year:

    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    A racial satire.
    One of the funniest books I've read.
    I can't in good conscience describe any of the scenes in this book to you.





    The worst of times..they don't phase me,
    even if I look and act really crazy.

    Here we go again. 



    I had a brief period between the last book and Patti Smith’s new book on Tuesday. I could’ve slowed my pace on the last one, I suppose. 

    Then again, the pull toward this sublime tome is difficult to resist. Ishmael has the sea; I have the book he narrates. 

    Call me Daniel.

    I am finally getting to read The Boss's book. Compared to Neil's and Keith's it's perfect.

    I bought a Kindle and some Kindle books.
    Anyone here use a Kindle?

    I'm about 3/4 of the way though Alfred Lansing's Endurance; Shackleton's Incredible Voyage.   I've read many survival/ adventure type books and this is one of the most intense yet.  What those guys went through it mind blowing.  To make the mood even more perfect, we're experiencing some very unusually cool weather here for this time of year and I've been feeling really run-down and not able to get warm.  Excellent!
